Black Ops 6’s Nuketown Is Updated Version Of Original, Lots Of People Have Never Played It
A “large percentage” of Call of Duty players have never seen the original version of one of the franchise’s most famous maps, Nuketown, according to level designer Adam Hoggatt. That’s part of the reason why Hoggatt is excited to bring it back for Black Ops 6 this November.
Speaking to IGN, Hoggatt revealed that Black Ops 6’s version of Nuketown will be “the original Nuketown” but with better visuals. The Black Ops 6 series has featured all manner of different iterations of Black Ops 6 over the years–including a futuristic take from Black Ops III–but Black Ops 6 will go back to the map’s roots.
“I think the original has a kind of special place in my heart. Recently it started occurring to me that probably a large percentage of our players had never actually experienced the original one,” he said. “So I am really excited that with Black Ops 6 can now get to basically revisit the original Nuketown and exactly the magic that was the original one but looking better than it has ever looked.”
